- Ewout's TEAM | about the guide
The eternal city of Rome is known for its an exceptional setting for films… With its grandiose architecture and historical remains, it has conquered filmmakers since the beginning of cinema history, being used as a main location for thousands of films. The world-acclaimed James Bond movie "Spectre" takes place in Rome's most iconic sites, which you will discover during this original tour. Having been picked up from your hotel by your guide in private transport, you will enjoy a complete tour of Rome's city center, passing by the emblematic highlights such as the Coliseum, the Castle of the Holy Angel, Piazza Navona, St Peter's Basilica and the picturesque Trastevere neighbourhood. As you drive, you will enjoy the scenic view of the city, perfect for taking some great pictures. After a short lunch, it's your turn to take the wheel of a supercar fit for James Bond himself and take it for a test-drive. Back in the passenger seat, you will then drive towards Cinecittà, one of the world's biggest studios which was created in 1937, a time when it rivalled Hollywood in size, stretching over 600,000 square metres and comprising 16 film studios. There, you will retrace the history of cinema in Rome, going through the different steps involved in the movie making process and browsing costumes and movie sets. On your way back to Rome, you will pass by some ancient aqueducts, just before heading to Antica Pesa, the famous roman restaurant where Daniel Craig and Monica Belluci used to have dinner while shooting the Bond film.

Originally from Netherlands, I lived most of my life in Italy and traveled a lot in all parts of the world during my student life, and after. My best memories are in Laos where I did my research for my thesis while studying history in Florence. After setting-up in Rome, I became a writer and a journalist expert on Italy, especially Rome. My last book about Rome came out two months ago... Then, passionate by the italian capital, I decided to create my own tour guiding business to show the city from a local's point of view, focusing on details and anecdotes that make a city unique. Today, I see myself more as an expert companion because I believe curious visitors like to have someone they can exchange with and answer all their questions, because now everybody seeks for authenticity and real experiences. I like to focus my tours on contrasts such as Rome between reality and fiction, showing the movie locations connected to the history of Rome. What I enjoy the most is the possibility to show the city spontaneously, when my guests want to see the Coliseum, Trevi, Pantheon and the other highlights; but at the same time, when they are also interested in the hidden gems and the tours off the beaten tracks making me asking permissions in order to enter in some places usually restricted to the public access. PS : my tours could also be guided by Marije.
